Call me Ishmael.

husband took difficult child 1 out on an all-day deep sea fishing trip this morning -- the final chapter to his 16th birthday fun. Although I love to fish, in this case it's better him than me because of difficult child 1's carpy attitude lately with his medication tweak and all.

And ironically, today is international "Talk Like A Pirate Day!"

Aye 'n nay. I saw me guy-no-call o'gist's nurse practitioner. She gave me th' once o'er, bled me for 'em tests they like t' run, et cetera, et cetera. Ever thin's normal as kin be. So we's chalkin' it all up t' an attack o' the panics brought on by an excess o' stress in me life (an' a dearth o' grog no doubt). Ah well, so it be. Tuesday I be gettin' a scope in me nether end. Kin scarcely wait for th' fun t' begin, arrrr!
